A lonely boat is stranded on the beach; with a pole but no water, it's hard to move forward or backward. When heavy rain comes, rivers and lakes overflow, and it can go back and forth without effort. This hexagram is formed by the overlapping of the same trigram: Xun (Wind) below and Xun (Wind) above. Xun (xùn) represents wind, and the doubling of wind creates an unceasing long wind that penetrates everywhere. The meaning of Xun is obedience. A humble attitude and behavior will lead to success in all endeavors.

What is the I Ching Oracle Sticks

The I Ching (Book of Changes) encompasses all things and regulates all beings, standing as an outstanding representative of the traditional culture of the Han ethnicity. It is traditionally said to have been written by King Wen. The sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, also referred to as "Golden Hexagram Divination" or "Coin Divination", are believed to have been created by King Wen of Zhou. It is said that divination based on these sixty-four hexagrams is highly accurate. The sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, through their combinations, reflect the philosophy of life and the laws governing the operation of nature under sixty-four different specific circumstances such as things, situations, and phenomena. Each of the sixty-four hexagrams consists of six lines (yao) and line statements (yaoci), corresponding to 384 states. Through the changes brought about by these state variations, one can understand the way all things in the world operate and the philosophy of life.
